Vandals hit school before Murrah-Callaway tilt

District officials investigate incident

Jackson Public Schools officials are investigating another case of vandalism to one of their schools.

Teachers and students found graffiti spray painted on parts of Callaway High School on Beasley Road on Friday morning. The vandals painted words such as MHS and No-Cway on the building.

Callaway students told WAPT that they believe the vandalism is part on an ongoing rivalry with students at Murrah High School. District officials are not naming any suspects or making any other connections.

Murrah High School was hit by vandals in September. Several windows at the football field house were broken and words were spray painted on parts of the school. That incident happened days before the heated matchup on the football field between Callaway and Murrah.

"I know it's a rivalry game," said student Jordan Bush. "But it doesn't get that serious to me."

The incident at Callaway happened just a few days before the two schools are set to meet up on the hardwood.

School crews have cleaned up what they could. The district does not plan to provide any extra security at the game.
